WATER ADDITION FOR INCREASED CO/H2 HYDROCARBON SYNTHESIS ACTIVITY OVER CATALYSTS COMPRISING RHENIUM PROMOTED COBALT ON TITANIA

摘要

The addition of water into a Fischer-Tropschhydrocarbon synthesis reaction zone employing a catalystcomprising promoted or unpromoted cobalt supported ontitania results in increased CO conversion and C5+hydrocarbon production and a decrease in methaneproduction. A preferred promoter is rhenium.
